Workshop 1: Digitalisation: Teamwork and Workplace Culture

The workshop begins with the presentation of a Great Place to Work study on the concept of agile workplace culture as an answer to the challenges of digitalisation. Afterwards, we will work out together how your team can deal with stress, identify resources and develop solutions. Finally, you will learn how to use a software programme (www.wecoach.ch), which you can use to develop measures for healthy working conditions and a good team atmosphere.
